DELTA - The municipality is taking a look at its contract with the local SPCA, and may consider asking the society to introduce a "no kill"policy.

The motion was put forward after two SPCA workers recently removed a young Rottweiler/Labrador cross from the Delta shelter to save it from being put down. The SPCA called the police and suspended the staffers.

One of them was Amanda Muir, who made headlines a few months ago after she was attacked by a dog.

Councillor Robert Campbell said he has received more calls and e-mails about the SPCA than any other topic since he's been on council.

"Certainly, these events have touched a nerve in this community," he said.
